Tub Dayton Journal soys: Work Is pro grossing at the Soldiers' Home, notwith stauding the cold weather. One of the new buildings Is done, and wc learn that one bun dred more disabled soldier will lie brought from Columbus to-morrow, to occupy It Another building will be ready next week, when a hundred more will be added ; and so ou, until the whole number has been removed Thb Western Reserve Chronicle says White Mr. J. Lane was engaged, a few days since, grading ou his premises, south of town, he turned up a skull containing sever al teeth In a good state of preservation ; and on further examination a kettle was found, too much corroded to tell of what material It was made copper or brass. The place where these relics were found Is said to have been the site of an Indian village. .Thb Portsmouth Republican lias the fol lowing: Q. W. Veatch, Esq., of Friendship post office, has shown us a curiosity. It Is one of nature's freaks. A small sized potato, when dug almost two mouths ago, had a blade of grass growing out of it. He preserved It and put it iu the dirt again. The original blade has grown three inches or more, and there are several other blades also growing out of It, some longer and some shorter. The Toledo Blade says that two men captured a large deer iu the rivevnear that place Wednesday morning. It is supposed the animal had been chased Into the water from the other side, at a very early hour in the morning, and swimming to this side was frightened and turned back, and' us he nearcd the south shore he was captured. The Blade says : A few years ago, the taking of a deer in the river was not au uncommon occurence, but since the woods disappeared along the bank it is seldom that deer are seen either in the river or near it. The Dayton Journal has the following: The workmen uuder Capt. Van Home, while engaged In developing a spring at the Soldiers' Home, so that the water might be carried by a hydraulic ram iuto the buildings, struck a remarkable quarry of stoue. It was found on the Crosby track, near the old Homestead, and just west of the Asylum buildings. It Is a sand stone of a beautiful blue tint, and altogether unlike any stone ever found in this section of the State. It is found iu strata, about fourteen luchea in thickness. It is hard aud heavy, yet can be sawed, and as easily cut Into any shape-, as the Louisville stone, so much used for or uamental doors and window caps in this city. The supply seems to be inexhaustible. A piece carried to Cincinnati caused great excitement there, and brought up a prominent dealer In stoue, who wanted to purchase the whole affair. It has also been visited by a number of our Dayton quarrymeu, who were utterly astonished at its appearance and value. They pronounce the quarry alone worth the entire sum paid for the whole farm. Naturally enough it has produced a great local excitement every man in the neighborhood being convinced that his own land contains quarries of the sam sort. Be this as it may, it Is a great fortune to the Soldiers' Home, as it will afford an abundance of splendid stone for build-lug purposes, within a few hundred feet of where the permanent buildings are to be erected. SPIKITOF THE 0HI0PRESS,1 1 PRESIDENTIAL, From the Aslitubula Sentinel. TnE Next President. As the successor of Johnson is tobechoseu iu the coming year, the question of a Republican caiidldate "is of growing importance especially since the Republicans have met with serious reverses in the late elections. "Dixon," of the Boston Advertiser, writing from Washington, and reviewing the political "situation," says there are only two candidates for nomination by the Republicans Chase aud Grant with the chances favoring the latter. This may be so, aud this is the appearance just now. But time may work many changes before Congress adjourns. With the politicians availability is everything ; because success Ls their rule of right, aud labor for it, their rule of action. Without Inquiring or caring what are Gen. Grant's views or 'principles, they concede him unbounded popularity, and take It for grained, that necessity will compel us to make him the candidate. Necessity might so compel us ; aud we should very prudently accept tue cnoice or necessity, li we were sure that Grant was above all men irresistibly popular. But ls he so? The time will not be lost, In the six or seven months before u, Iu asking and ausweriug this question. II he ls, we cau satisfy our selves whether our neremln ls so great as to compel our choice. If he should happen not tube, we can .lust as well make our choice without regard to the necessity. Military men have always been the terror of politicians of the civilian class; and they have conceded to soldiers Immeasurable power with the people. They have taken It for granted that a General, if ho Is only the highest In command, must necessarily carry any election, mo wings indulged a delu sion of this kind in relation to Gen. Scott In 12, with a result that some Republicans who then acted with them may not remem ber. There Is a great difference between sol diers, as there is with civilians; and when we are In search of available men, It would be very well to canvass the peculiar qualities of Generals, ns men, aud determine whether those qualities make up certuin availability. Gen. Grant may have Just the needed quail ties! hut for our nart we confess to not know lug whether he has them or not. On this subject we are "seeking light. In quite a blindfolded condition. We observe that there Is a very general tendency to tho belief that Grant will oo our candidate; and men say on reading the late election returns "this nominates Grant." But after all this may not be so ; and as a party wc had tatter look herore we leap too fur to recover ourselves. It seems to us a dangerous confession to make, thus far In advance, that the Rcpubll can party is already so demoralized that It Is compelled to take una leading candidate, lie cause ho Is not committed to any set of principles, aud ls known to the people only for the battles he has won. Our loading men may be prepared to enter the Presidential contest without any proscribed policy, and run on a platform of platitudes ; but they may as well make up their minds that our opponents will not penult this. If im do not present Issues, they will ; and we shall be compelled to stand by those wo have already made, besides being held accountable for much that docs not belong to us as a party. In that state of things wc shall And It best to tako a representative man, one In whom the earnest working men of tho party will have confidence or whom no questions will be asked as to what measures he will support. In such a case, we waut a man who 1 understood to be a Republican. If he Is not so n-denlomt, ho will be very apt to be of the op posite party ; for strong JRepublicans are disposed to say tbey are; so. Nobody asks if Judge Chase ls Republican. Some do ask whether General Grant is oue ; and most Republicans would like to know. AV'e are not just iow inclined to, -elect one of our opponents, having done all in that way that cou'.i be reasonably asked of us. If the candidacy is- to be narrowed down to Chase and Graut, we believe the availability that will give ns a Republican Presi dent, is with Mr. Chase, because he is an ua questioned Republican. If we only desire the availability that will elect a man without reference to any policy or principlesi we can wait till the "Democracy" nominate, aud take thelnnan and make a sure thing of it. It is Tery easy to elect a President. The task Is to get oae who can bo trusted, because of his devotion to the principles we hold' to be essential. With this view of the stject, we are disposed to wait before we are committed to any candidate unless it le that we are committed to a Republican. As matters now stand, (supposing Chare and Grant to be the only candidates,) we are for Chase ; beoause we know him to be a Republican, and we do not know it of Graut. But we choose not to be committed to any wans and are therefore among those who think it best to wait for developments. We believe the Republicans Radicals, if you will are strong enough to-wait a few months, to sec who will make the best candidate. From the Buc-yrue Journal. Salmon P. Chase. The pretension now made that Chase is conservative in his- political views, ls an audacloas lie ; but it was inspired by himself, we do not donbt, and is characteristic. Forvm. The above, from the Forum, la at least characteristic of that refined periodical. It evidently has reierence to the recentarticle In the Cincinnati Commercial. It ls nothing that the Commercial has denied that It published that article at the Inspiration or desire of Mr. Chase; it ls nothing that the article Itself is evidently not specially calculated to benefit him; It is sufficient that it affords-an excuse for attacking and abusing a great aud patriotic man; and that the Forum never fails to regale its readers and sellers with a dish of scurrility when it can get a chance. Mr. Chase is undoubtedly radical and un doubtedly conservative too. Let the Forum take that and harp upon it. He is undoubtedly radical so far as he advocates the elevation of every oue to an equality of position in the eyes of the law, without distinction of color, and that these equal rights should be extended to all without unnecessary delay : he ls undoubtedly conservative inasmuch as while advocating these views he advocates the effecting of the reforms they comprehend by degrees: so fast as the people can be educated up to the standard of desiring to make the reform, but not so fast as to force any measure on an unwilling people. Mr. Chase is therefore radical in bis views and conservative in his idea of tho measures by which those views should be acconv pllshed. We cannot aspire to the distinction of speaking by the authority of the great head of the Republican party. But we have eu- joyed the privilege of hearing him express himself, in etiect, ns wc nave stated, and we resard this as a just coustructiou of the Cin cinnati Commercial when it declared Mr. Chase to be 'In temperament and convic tions, one of the most truly conservative- men in the country." (From the Massillon Independent. The PnEsiDEScv. It Is about 363 days yet before we can vote for Presidcnt.but we notice that not a few of our cotemporaries are busy making nominations or rather oue nomination, that ot ucn. urant, tor that position. AVhere Is the use of being In so great a hurry If These fast people may imagine that tho Copperheads will try to steal the General for their candidate, and are thus trying to head them off. Perhaps they are earnestly sincere In their premature action, but It does look to us as If this movement is more to subserve a temporary expediency than to establish a correct principle. Gen. Grant is a pretty quiet man dou t blow or gas and this thing of making an expediency out of him, certainly cannot be flattering to his sense qf right. Tho natlou aud the world know he ls a patriotic man, and one of the first captains of the age, but who knows anything of his qualifications for civil office!; Certainly he makes no pretensions In that way ; and It would be better to let the matter of the next presidency remain quiet for a few months yet. ' If time devclopes the fact that Gen. Graut . Is the choice of the people, or a largo portlou ' of them, It will then be soou enough to enter on the campaign. Less than twelve months may point out a more suitable man, ibr we can't tell what the future may reveal, till then, it seems to us, prudence dictates quiet. Meanwhile let every uecessary, wise and Just measure be taken to And out what Is necessary ti be done, and then work at ihe business of educating the people up to a higher and more ennobling position of manhood. Principles, and not men, should be discussed. The Owosso (Mich.) Press says a mnn by the name ot Ingraham got drunk and went to the house of a womau whoso reputation was not above suspicion, and Insisted upon being admitted. She told him to go away. He kept on klcklug the door, and at length sho opened It and fired a charge from a revolver at him. The bull took effect In his side near the liver. Ingraham at once retreated, and the woman followed him, firing three more shot at him, all of which took effect, two of the balls striking his back ami lodging Iu his chest or lungs, aud oue striking his shoulder aud lodging In his arm. Ingraham was alive ou Monday morning, but was not expected to survive during tho day. Tub Grand Rapids (Mich.) Kagle says that while a uumber of boys, aged from ten to fifteen years, were playing near the village of Cedar Springs, they went to work chopping down a tree" to see It full. Willet Weeks, who was chopping at the time, was standing near the stump, and as the tree fell It struck another leaning tree, throwing It so as to strike him on the tide, klllli g htm almost Instantly. A (ikkat ileal of work, we aro told, has' been performed In Chicago this year, In the way of raising the streets to a grade. At the present rate of progress It will not he man v years before the entire city will have lice n ei evated some ten feet i an average above It original level. y

Lane was engaged, a few days since, grading ou his premises, south of town, he turned up a skull containing sever al teeth In a good state of preservation ; and on further examination a kettle was found, too much corroded to tell of what material It was made copper or brass. The place where these relics were found Is said to have been the site of an Indian village. .Thb Portsmouth Republican lias the fol lowing: Q. W. Veatch, Esq., of Friendship post office, has shown us a curiosity. It Is one of nature's freaks. A small sized potato, when dug almost two mouths ago, had a blade of grass growing out of it. He preserved It and put it iu the dirt again. The original blade has grown three inches or more, and there are several other blades also growing out of It, some longer and some shorter. The Toledo Blade says that two men captured a large deer iu the rivevnear that place Wednesday morning. It is supposed the animal had been chased Into the water from the other side, at a very early hour in the morning, and swimming to this side was frightened and turned back, and' us he nearcd the south shore he was captured. The Blade says : A few years ago, the taking of a deer in the river was not au uncommon occurence, but since the woods disappeared along the bank it is seldom that deer are seen either in the river or near it. The Dayton Journal has the following: The workmen uuder Capt. Van Home, while engaged In developing a spring at the Soldiers' Home, so that the water might be carried by a hydraulic ram iuto the buildings, struck a remarkable quarry of stoue. It was found on the Crosby track, near the old Homestead, and just west of the Asylum buildings. It Is a sand stone of a beautiful blue tint, and altogether unlike any stone ever found in this section of the State. It is found iu strata, about fourteen luchea in thickness. It is hard aud heavy, yet can be sawed, and as easily cut Into any shape-, as the Louisville stone, so much used for or uamental doors and window caps in this city. The supply seems to be inexhaustible. A piece carried to Cincinnati caused great excitement there, and brought up a prominent dealer In stoue, who wanted to purchase the whole affair. It has also been visited by a number of our Dayton quarrymeu, who were utterly astonished at its appearance and value. They pronounce the quarry alone worth the entire sum paid for the whole farm. Naturally enough it has produced a great local excitement every man in the neighborhood being convinced that his own land contains quarries of the sam sort. Be this as it may, it Is a great fortune to the Soldiers' Home, as it will afford an abundance of splendid stone for build-lug purposes, within a few hundred feet of where the permanent buildings are to be erected. SPIKITOF THE 0HI0PRESS,1 1 PRESIDENTIAL, From the Aslitubula Sentinel. TnE Next President. As the successor of Johnson is tobechoseu iu the coming year, the question of a Republican caiidldate "is of growing importance especially since the Republicans have met with serious reverses in the late elections. "Dixon," of the Boston Advertiser, writing from Washington, and reviewing the political "situation," says there are only two candidates for nomination by the Republicans Chase aud Grant with the chances favoring the latter. This may be so, aud this is the appearance just now. But time may work many changes before Congress adjourns. With the politicians availability is everything ; because success Ls their rule of right, aud labor for it, their rule of action. Without Inquiring or caring what are Gen. Grant's views or 'principles, they concede him unbounded popularity, and take It for grained, that necessity will compel us to make him the candidate. Necessity might so compel us ; aud we should very prudently accept tue cnoice or necessity, li we were sure that Grant was above all men irresistibly popular. But ls he so? The time will not be lost, In the six or seven months before u, Iu asking and ausweriug this question. II he ls, we cau satisfy our selves whether our neremln ls so great as to compel our choice. If he should happen not tube, we can .lust as well make our choice without regard to the necessity. Military men have always been the terror of politicians of the civilian class; and they have conceded to soldiers Immeasurable power with the people. They have taken It for granted that a General, if ho Is only the highest In command, must necessarily carry any election, mo wings indulged a delu sion of this kind in relation to Gen. Scott In 12, with a result that some Republicans who then acted with them may not remem ber. There Is a great difference between sol diers, as there is with civilians; and when we are In search of available men, It would be very well to canvass the peculiar qualities of Generals, ns men, aud determine whether those qualities make up certuin availability. Gen. Grant may have Just the needed quail ties! hut for our nart we confess to not know lug whether he has them or not. On this subject we are "seeking light. In quite a blindfolded condition. We observe that there Is a very general tendency to tho belief that Grant will oo our candidate; and men say on reading the late election returns "this nominates Grant." But after all this may not be so ; and as a party wc had tatter look herore we leap too fur to recover ourselves. It seems to us a dangerous confession to make, thus far In advance, that the Rcpubll can party is already so demoralized that It Is compelled to take una leading candidate, lie cause ho Is not committed to any set of principles, aud ls known to the people only for the battles he has won. Our loading men may be prepared to enter the Presidential contest without any proscribed policy, and run on a platform of platitudes ; but they may as well make up their minds that our opponents will not penult this. If im do not present Issues, they will ; and we shall be compelled to stand by those wo have already made, besides being held accountable for much that docs not belong to us as a party. In that state of things wc shall And It best to tako a representative man, one In whom the earnest working men of tho party will have confidence or whom no questions will be asked as to what measures he will support. In such a case, we waut a man who 1 understood to be a Republican. If he Is not so n-denlomt, ho will be very apt to be of the op posite party ; for strong JRepublicans are disposed to say tbey are; so. Nobody asks if Judge Chase ls Republican. Some do ask whether General Grant is oue ; and most Republicans would like to know. AV'e are not just iow inclined to, -elect one of our opponents, having done all in that way that cou'.i be reasonably asked of us. If the candidacy is- to be narrowed down to Chase and Graut, we believe the availability that will give ns a Republican Presi dent, is with Mr. Chase, because he is an ua questioned Republican. If we only desire the availability that will elect a man without reference to any policy or principlesi we can wait till the "Democracy" nominate, aud take thelnnan and make a sure thing of it. It is Tery easy to elect a President. The task Is to get oae who can bo trusted, because of his devotion to the principles we hold' to be essential. With this view of the stject, we are disposed to wait before we are committed to any candidate unless it le that we are committed to a Republican. As matters now stand, (supposing Chare and Grant to be the only candidates,) we are for Chase ; beoause we know him to be a Republican, and we do not know it of Graut. But we choose not to be committed to any wans and are therefore among those who think it best to wait for developments. We believe the Republicans Radicals, if you will are strong enough to-wait a few months, to sec who will make the best candidate. From the Buc-yrue Journal. Salmon P. Chase. The pretension now made that Chase is conservative in his- political views, ls an audacloas lie ; but it was inspired by himself, we do not donbt, and is characteristic. Forvm. The above, from the Forum, la at least characteristic of that refined periodical. It evidently has reierence to the recentarticle In the Cincinnati Commercial. It ls nothing that the Commercial has denied that It published that article at the Inspiration or desire of Mr. Chase; it ls nothing that the article Itself is evidently not specially calculated to benefit him; It is sufficient that it affords-an excuse for attacking and abusing a great aud patriotic man; and that the Forum never fails to regale its readers and sellers with a dish of scurrility when it can get a chance. Mr. Chase is undoubtedly radical and un doubtedly conservative too. Let the Forum take that and harp upon it. He is undoubtedly radical so far as he advocates the elevation of every oue to an equality of position in the eyes of the law, without distinction of color, and that these equal rights should be extended to all without unnecessary delay : he ls undoubtedly conservative inasmuch as while advocating these views he advocates the effecting of the reforms they comprehend by degrees: so fast as the people can be educated up to the standard of desiring to make the reform, but not so fast as to force any measure on an unwilling people. Mr. Chase is therefore radical in bis views and conservative in his idea of tho measures by which those views should be acconv pllshed. We cannot aspire to the distinction of speaking by the authority of the great head of the Republican party. But we have eu- joyed the privilege of hearing him express himself, in etiect, ns wc nave stated, and we resard this as a just coustructiou of the Cin cinnati Commercial when it declared Mr. Chase to be 'In temperament and convic tions, one of the most truly conservative- men in the country." (From the Massillon Independent. The PnEsiDEScv. It Is about 363 days yet before we can vote for Presidcnt.but we notice that not a few of our cotemporaries are busy making nominations or rather oue nomination, that ot ucn. urant, tor that position. AVhere Is the use of being In so great a hurry If These fast people may imagine that tho Copperheads will try to steal the General for their candidate, and are thus trying to head them off. Perhaps they are earnestly sincere In their premature action, but It does look to us as If this movement is more to subserve a temporary expediency than to establish a correct principle. Gen. Grant is a pretty quiet man dou t blow or gas and this thing of making an expediency out of him, certainly cannot be flattering to his sense qf right. Tho natlou aud the world know he ls a patriotic man, and one of the first captains of the age, but who knows anything of his qualifications for civil office!; Certainly he makes no pretensions In that way ; and It would be better to let the matter of the next presidency remain quiet for a few months yet. ' If time devclopes the fact that Gen. Graut . Is the choice of the people, or a largo portlou ' of them, It will then be soou enough to enter on the campaign. Less than twelve months may point out a more suitable man, ibr we can't tell what the future may reveal, till then, it seems to us, prudence dictates quiet. Meanwhile let every uecessary, wise and Just measure be taken to And out what Is necessary ti be done, and then work at ihe business of educating the people up to a higher and more ennobling position of manhood. Principles, and not men, should be discussed. The Owosso (Mich.) Press says a mnn by the name ot Ingraham got drunk and went to the house of a womau whoso reputation was not above suspicion, and Insisted upon being admitted. She told him to go away. He kept on klcklug the door, and at length sho opened It and fired a charge from a revolver at him. The bull took effect In his side near the liver. Ingraham at once retreated, and the woman followed him, firing three more shot at him, all of which took effect, two of the balls striking his back ami lodging Iu his chest or lungs, aud oue striking his shoulder aud lodging In his arm. Ingraham was alive ou Monday morning, but was not expected to survive during tho day. Tub Grand Rapids (Mich.)
